GoutGout is a metabolic disorder affecting 2-5% of the adult population over 30 years of age (approximately 3 to 5 million Americans), and considered one of the most painful inflammatory conditions that human beings can experience (Choi HK et al. 2005. Pathogenesis of gout, Ann. Intern. Med. 2005;143:499-516).Gout occurs when uric acid levels (a normal product of purine metabolism) rise above the biochemical limit of solubility, precipitate, and accumulate in and around joints and tissues in the form of needle-like monosodium urate crystals (MSU).Useful links :
